• A NEED is what we do not have or do not have
enough of. The well-known social psychologist
Abraham H. Maslow classified human needs and
arranged them in hierarchical order from lower to
higher needs. His theory of sequential development of
needs states that:
• Lower-level needs develop first in the life of a
person.
• Once lower-level needs are satisfied or are on the
way to satisfaction, they assume less importance in
motivation because the higher-level needs become
dominant in motivating behavior.

A VALUE is something we have and which we prize or
treasure. We make choices to protect, defend, or enhance
it. A value is shown in the choice we freely make. We are
happy with the choice. If we value working with others, we
will always choose situations at work in which we interact
with others rather than working alone. Different kinds of
values:
personal values
family values
spiritual values
work values
career values
social and humanitarian values
cultural values

14. Jumping the Hurdles Inside of Me
There will be many obstacles that the adolescent will face
when choosing and planning a career path. The bigger the
problems adolescents think they have, the stronger they will
become after overcoming these problems. Jumping the
hurdles that are within will take time but practicing the
virtues will strengthen adolescents for the hurdles they will
have to jump over. There are many different external
obstacles that adolescents will face in the path that they
choose to take. Many of these problems may seem like they
are beyond the adolescents’ control. It is important however,
to remind them that in every situation that occurs, what
matters most is how they deal with it. To jump the hurdles
from outside takes a lot of strength in decision making.
